Dear Sir:

We have just received word from Mr. Mayhew,of the Colonial Office, London, that you are being namedas the representative of the Giloert and Ellice IslandsColony to come to the Seminar-Conference on Education inPacific Countries, being held in Honolulu from June 30to August 7. I believe he will have sent on to you anofficial announcement of the gathering, but in case youhave not received it I am enclosing one.

lou will be interested to know that a largenumber of Pacific countries wili. be represented other thsuithe British Colonial areas. Australia, New Zealand, theUnited States, Japan, China, French Indo-China, the Netherlands, and Latin America, have groups or individuals coming,also perhaps Canada, India, and South Africa. We are trying to confine the number to forty or fifty so that thegathering will not become formal and unwieldy. Before longwe shall send you a programme outline, and so you will beable to know at which points you can contribute best.

Regarding your travel to Honolulu, the arrangements are being made by the Crown Agents for the Colonies,London. The boat you will no doubt be coming by is the"Aorangi", arriving here July 3. This is a little laterthan the opening date, as previously announced. Probably,however, the representatives from the American mainland,and also some of those from the Orient, will not be arrivinguntil July 2. Either the formal opening date will be postponed correspondingly (it was originally fixed to coincidewith the start of our University summer session), or atleast the earlier proceedings will be of such a nature as tobe easily caught up by delegates from the South.

Dear Maude,

With reference to the Honolulu Pacific Education

Conference, which I understand that you are attending as

a representative of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, I enclose

a statement of a seminar course on education in the British

Dependencies which I have suggested to the Conference

organisers in response to their request. I have told them

that I will undertake sole responsibility for items (a) and

(b), ^ will give some lectures and moderate discussion onthese subjects. As regards (c) I have said that I shall be

gl-d to suppleiTient and enlarge on such information as thecolonial representatives may give and to act as Chairman ormoderate discussion on these topics if desired.

1 hope that I may assume that you will bring with•

nr (^et sent from the Gilbert and Ellice Islands,you, oj- '

necessary and up to date information with reports andstatietics regarding educational progress and conditions in

bhe Gilho^"'̂ and Ellice Islands. I shall, of course, bringv^th me such material referring to the Gilbert and ElliceIslands as I am able to collect from the Colonial Office or

from the redords of the Advisory Committee on Education

in the Colonies. We can discuss in detail the distribution

of the work, so far as the Gilbert and Ellice Islands are

concerned, when \ve meet. I c«n looking forward very much

to meeting you at Honolulu, where I hope to arrive on 24th

June. I hope that shall be able to arrange some

meetings of the British Dependencies representatives during

the Conference to discuss subjects common to all the

Dep endencies.

3. The other Dependencies represented will be Malaya,

Hong Kong and Fiji.

Yours very sincerely.

Office of the High Commissioner

FOR THE Western Pacific,

No. 2774. Suva, Fiji,

9til April, 1936.

Sir,

I am directed by the High Commission

er for the Western Pacific to acknowledge the

receipt of your letter of the 31st luarch,

relative to your representation of the Gilbert

and Ellice Islands Colony at the forthcoming

Conference on Education in Pacific Countries

to be held at Honolulu from June to August next.

2. His Excellency approves tlie proposal

in paragraph 3 of your letter, but, as it is

desirable to avoid travelling in a foreign

vessel, it will be necessary for you to proceed

to Suva in the R.M.S. "Aorangi" scheduled to

leave Auckland on the E8th April, continuing

your voyage to Honolulu in tiie R.M.S. "Niagara"

leaving Suva on the 29111 May. This will in

volve a stay of four weeks in Suva.

3. In order to obtain the most economical

pass8.ge rates it will be necessary for you to

book in AucKland a return passage, Auckland-Hono

Auckland, New Zealand.

- ci.-

lulu-Auckland. By Booking the passage in

New Zealand the cost of exchange is saved.

4. If no instructions with regard to

your passage ai'e received from Ocean Island

in time, the Colony Agents in Auckland should,

if they aj?e unwilling to accept your instruc

tions in the matter, communicate by telegraph

with this office.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient servant' \

Secretary to tiie High Commission.

Suva, Fiji,

9til April, 1936.

tly dear Maude,

You will have received by this mail

ray official letter relative to your proposed

stay at Suva while en route to Honolulu to

attend the Education Conference. I shall look

forward witli pleasure to your visit to Suva if

you can manage the four weeks' stay here. His

Excellency unfortunately will be leaving Suva,

en route to England prep^^ratory to assuming the

duties of his new post in Trinidad, by the

"Aorangi" on tiie 1st May.

H. With regard to tlie veto on your

travelling by the American boat, you will no

doubt understand that feeling in certain

quarters on tnis subject runs high, hence the

official attitude towards travelling in foreign

vessels.

3. In case the position wiUi regard to

your wife accompanying you to Honolulu is not

clear to you I would mention that in the tele

graphic correspondence with tlie Secretary of

State His Excellency proceeded on the assumption

tiiat your wife would be allowed to accompany you

at

at public expense. The Colonial Otfice however

vetoed this and the present position is that

officially you will travel alone.

4. Mr. Barton, the new Colonial secretary

in Fiji, stated that he travelled to Zealand

on the same boat as you and lirs. Mat^e ahd thaton your arrival in New Zealand you vi/0pg takenseriously ill again. We have leaj^tet this withmuch regret, and trust tliat you are ^gnagain. I may mention that it was for

Dear Mr. Maude: /il, . .-."iTT,

of 20th March, the main matter which was notdealt with in the letter I sent to you was concerning accommodation for Mrs. Maude.

A'; ' T J i.- ' Please bring her to Honolulu ' " " ' .•' with you as I am sure she will enjoy it. We ' '

• ' shall either give you a double room at the stu-, dent hostel where nearly all the other repre

sentatives are staying, or else arrange for youto stay at a private hotel near the university. .In the former case the cost for her board andlodging will be as low as could be arrangedanywhere in Honolulu; $100 for six weeks. Inthe latter it would be about $70 a month, lourown board and lodging costs are of course beingmet by us.

As regards travel, I would recommend the "Aorangi" which gets here July S,

, though if by chance you were returning to theI Gilbert and Ellice islands directly from Hono-

4 lulu via Samoa you could come by the Matsonliner arriving here July 6, and so be able totranship on the return trip from Pago Pago toSuva. Though your travel arrangements arebeing made by the Crown Agents, it may be wellfor you to pencil in a booking.

Enclosed you will find the tentative programme for the seminar-conference, also the first draft of a bibliography on educa- Ition in Pacific countries, and a memorandum on ' 'conference preparation, lou will see that the

m

f

•1

I

.✓ Mr. Maude - Page 2 4/28/36

programme is essentially elastic, and can be revised by the group as the meetings proceed. Rostrum work is subordinated as far as possible toless formal discussion and interchange of experience.

Now as to the specific contributions we should like you to make, so far as wecan anticipate them now. (a). Besides sharingwith us throughout the sessions your knowledge ofthe problems, especially as they relate to yourarea, we are hoping that you will consent to givea thirty minute paper or address, which you willfind provisionally put under section B.5, andtitled "Culture Change and Education in the lGilbert and Ellice Islands". This is planned as /one of six regional statements illustrating the ' , ,/' / .r,-?results of human contact in the modern Pacific, • ^these opening the way to regional comparisons andmore general discussions. As I visualize it, thesituation in the Gilbert and Ellice Colony wouldillustrate the experience of the many small, relatively isolated groups that have a very selectivecontact with western civilization. I think theaccompanying expositions \inder section B will makequite clear what we have in mind, (b) The memorandum on conference preparation covers four pointswith which you could further help. Regarding thefirst, I know you are not in a position to securematerials from your office, but at least it mightbe possible to gather some from the office of theHigh Commissioner as you come through Suva. MayI reinforce point two by saying that if we can getregional statements of the kind referred to, theywill provide in most convenient form a body of information essential for the discussions, yet time-consximing in the extreme if presented verbally during the meetings. Point three gives scope for exposition of both the special personal interests ofmembers and the special problems which they see aslooming most significantly in their areas. Pointfour is self-explanatory.

Looking forward to the pleasure ofwelcoming you in Honolulu, I am
